Game of the Day

NY, NY it's a helluva town. And it's a helluva pitching matchup tonight, the best in the majors. The Mets travel uptown to Yankee Stadium and send Jae Weong Seo against David Wells. Neither strikes out a lot of batters, but neither hurts himself with walks. Seo does a better job of keeping the ball in the park, allowing only 5 HR to Wells 10.

When teams face pitchers who do not issue walks, they are pretty much reduced to their batting averages. The Yankees have a big edge there, hitting .267 to the Mets .246. Of course, the Mets will be adding a DH, and Met DHs are batting .280 this year.
